Taste of Place

Northshore Specialty Coffee

Arts

Frequency: 1 episode/15d. Total Eps: 26

We're North Shore Specialty Coffee, and we think that life is just better when you're sippin' on somethin'. At a coffee shop, at a brewery, at a distillery, life is all about shared moments, and those that make us obsess over the flavors that go into the cup. We just get to enjoy them. We think that there's something special in the magic of, "Try this," and then the connections that come from that. So think of this like a never ending happy hour or something where we just get to geek out together and talk about flavor and human connection.
